# Rime's Binding Ice *2nd-level, Evocation*  - **Casting time:** 1 Action - **Range:** Self (30-foot Cone) - **Components:** S, M (a vial of meltwater) - **Duration:** Instantaneous A burst of cold energy emanates from you in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes `dice:3d8|noform|noparens|avg` (`3d8`) cold damage and is hindered by ice formations for 1 minute, or until it or another creature within reach of it uses an action to break away the ice. A creature hindered by ice has its speed reduced to 0. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn't hindered by ice. **At Higher Levels.** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, increase the cold damage by `dice:1d8|noform|noparens|avg|text(1d8)` for each slot level above 2nd. **Classes**: [Bard (College of Lore)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-college-of-lore-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Bard](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Fighter (Eldritch Knight)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-eldritch-knight-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Rogue (Arcane Trickster)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-arcane-trickster-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Sorcerer](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md); [Wizard (Evoker)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-evoker-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Wizard](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-wizard.md) *Source: Fizban's Treasury of Dragons p. 21*
